Drunk as a Lord

It's that time of year. The Kowhai trees are dripping with amber nectar and our resident Tui are getting drunk. They have been singing rugby songs all afternoon, getting progressively more squiffy and silly. The blur on the photos is because they are very high in the trees, and there is only so much wobble I can compensate for with a long lens.

I'm middle aged according to both of my passports, but don't feel it. I'm married to a delightful academic who humours me beyond the call of duty. My cats are my children.....My friends mean the world to me and I live too far away from most of them.
